Thiotricha pteropis is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1908. It is found in Sri Lanka and Assam, India.[1]
The wingspan is 8–10 mm. The forewings are ochreous white or whitish ochreous with an elongate rounded-triangular leaden-grey spot finely edged with blackish extending along the termen from the tornus to the apex, broadest anteriorly. There is an oblique blackish line from three-fourths of the costa running into this before the apex, as well as a small triangular ochreous-brown costal mark before the apex, meeting the apex of the terminal spot. There is also a round black apical dot. The hindwings are grey.[2]
